RANK | PLAYER | POS. | TEAM | ROUND | PICK | COMMENTARY |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | ROBERT GRIFFIN III | QB | WSH | 1 | 2 | Unfair comparisons will be made to Cam Newton, but will be asked to run a lot more in Washington than Luck will be in Indy, which makes RG3 the first player I'd draft out of this class |
2 | ANDREW LUCK | QB | IND | 1 | 1 | Will start day one and has a punchers chance to score a ton of points right out of the gate. |
3 | MICHAEL FLOYD | WR | ARZ | 1 | 13 | Main knock was route-running. His mentor is now Larry Fitzgerald. Could be magical. |
4 | COBY FLEENER | TE | IND | 2 | 2 | Luck will rely on Fleener heavily early in his career and they already have a chemistry. |
5 | TRENT RICHARDSON | RB | CLE | 1 | 3 | Is a 3-down back who will be asked to start right away. Fantasy gold as a FLEX option |
6 | DOUG MARTIN | RB | TB | 1 | 31 | May split carries to begin the season, but will eventually be the feature back due to his versatility in passing situations compared to incumbent LaGarrette Blount |
7 | JUSTIN BLACKMON | WR | JAX | 1 | 5 | Slips in the rankings because JAX is so inept offensively. |
8 | BRANDON WEEDEN | QB | CLE | 1 | 22 | All indications are that he will start from day one considering the fact that the Browns are shopping Colt McCoy. |
9 | BRIAN QUICK | WR | STL | 2 | 1 | He has a lot of developing to do, but STL has no one to stop Quick from being a starter early in the season. His size will make him a valuable endzone target. |
10 | AJ JENKINS | WR | SF | 1 | 30 | Good talent, but may be 4th on the depth chart this year behind Moss, Manningham, and Ginn |
11 | KENDALL WRIGHT | WR | TEN | 1 | 20 | Barring injuries, will at best be 3rd in the pecking order to get touches behind CJ2K and Kenny Britt. Jaret Cook may also get more touches this year. |
12 | STEPHEN HILL | WR | NYJ | 2 | 11 | Very raw, but will likely be replacing Plaxico Burress. Size and speed combo is the best in the draft. |
13 | ALSON JEFFERY | WR | CHI | 2 | 13 | Needs to improve consistency, but can be very dangerous opposite Brandon Marshall |
14 | RYAN BROYLES | WR | DET | 2 | 22 | If he recovers from his ACL injury, will be very dangerous opposite Calvin Johnson. |
15 | RUEBEN RANDLE | WR | NYG | 2 | 32 | Needs to beat out Ramses Barden for the 3rd wide receiver spot and Mario Manningham's replacement |
16 | RONNIE HILLMAN | RB | DEN | 3 | 4 | Darren Sproles-like talent at Peyton Manning's disposal, may also return kicks. Potential duel threat for fantasy points |
17 | T.J. GRAHAM | WR/KR | BUF | 3 | 6 | Can challenge for a slot receiver spot similar to the one he played at NC State, but his real value will be in the return game. |
18 | T.Y. HILTON | WR/KR | IND | 3 | 30 | Fastest guy in the draft goes to Andrew Luck?on turf. Dual threat as a slot receiver and kick returner |
19 | DEVIER POSEY | WR | HOU | 3 | 5 | Adam Schefter reports that Posey's arrival will spell the likely departure of Jacoby Jones. I expect similar numbers. |
20 | RYAN TANNEHILL | QB | MIA | 1 | 8 | Don't think he'll start much this year, but if he does, there's potential there with his running ability to have a Tim Tebow-like year in terms of fantasy production. |
